Chicago Marathon coverage


Chilly morning for a marathon (in the mid-30s), so Orrie & I didn't last long out there watching the marathon. We did see a Green Man, Darth Vader, Fred Flintstone, and Grim Reaper run by, as well as whatever the hell this thing below is camped out across the street from where we were standing.


We didn't see my friends Adam Caldarelli or Greg Gugger go by. I'm sure they did, but the crowd of runners makes it difficult to catch familiar faces. Standing there watching the waves of people run by, it can get you a little seasick. And it's exhausting standing out there in one spot for so long watching people run by the halfway point of a 26.2 mile marathon.

And since I do like to see the finish of the marathon as well, we went back home and turned on the TiVo and watched some of the race, and I actually saw me & Orrie on tv, ha!
